Stand Up for Homecare: Tuesday, November 1, 5:30-7:00 PM, Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce
When you support Stand Up for Homecare, you are strengthening AAHomecare’s efforts to promote a positive image of the home medical equipment industry, raise public awareness of homecare’s many benefits, and support consumer advocacy groups like ITEM Coalition, United Spinal Association and Paralyzed Veterans of America – organizations that serve many of our patients, and are also strong allies on legislative and regulatory priorities. The campaign has also provided funding for direct outreach to consumers on our issues, and has helped expand our network of grassroots advocates by thousands of new supporters.
The Stand Up for Homecare reception brings together some of the most influential leaders in the HME community for an evening of networking, fellowship and celebration. We will also be honoring individuals who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in their service to HME as 2016 Homecare Champions at the reception. Find more information and register here.
